Beginner help setting up Z-Wave Binding (switch and z-stick)

[Willie Stewart]

I've spent the last couple weeks combing though the wiki, youtube, help videos etc... and I'm kinda getting it but i'm a bit stuck.

I got "Designer" working on my windows machine and i'm working to get a single leviton zwave switch working. I have and Aeon Labs Z Stick as well.

 I created a copy of .cfg file and added the zwave binding to the addons folder. 

I edited the zwave section of the binding by uncommenting the com and repair section, which I assume is what tells Openhab that I have the zstick connected to the computer. 

Whats are the next steps?

Thanks for your help!

[Willie Stewart]

Also are there additional settings I need to change in the .cfg file?

[Kevin Gottsman]

Wille,

Welcome to the club...

I would recommend using Chris's snapshot version. Its much newer than
the one published with official openhab.

https://github.com/cdjackson/HABmin/tree/master/addons


Here is my openhab.cfg for zwave. I have the same stick on Linux and a
half dozen devices. All you really need to do is point to the USB stick
and OH will pick up all the devices.

Sorry for the stupid word wrap below...

################################ Z-Wave Binding
######################################
#
# The Z-Wave controller port. Valid values are e.g. COM1 for Windows and
/dev/ttyS0 or
# /dev/ttyUSB0 for Linux
zwave:port=/dev/ttyUSB0

# Mac
#zwave:port=/dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART

# Z-Wave nightly heal time. This is the hour (eg 2AM) at which the
automatic nightly
# network heal will be performed.
zwave:healtime=2

No - the defaults for other settings should be fine.

Your next step is to configure the items - the wiki has some information on this, or search the group and you’ll find examples of other zwave items that people have posted.

Thank you Chris and Kevin for your help. Slowly but surely I'm learning. I was going to wait for 2.0 but seems like I'll have more control if I understand how things are working under the hood.

Thanks!

[Willie Stewart]

So I'm making progress. I got Habmin working and I can see my Aeon Labs Zstick (green light) and I can see the green light next to my zwave leviton switch. 

I created my item:  Switch Z_Leviton "Dining Room" (Light){zwave="2:1:command=BINARY_SWITCH"}

And my sitemap: foot label="Main Menu" {

   Frame label="Dining Room" {

      Switch item=Z_Leviton label="Dining Room" icon="switch"

       }

}

When i launch my localhost page I can see and use the toggle to turn the light on and off but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?  

My logs are below. Thanks

[Mike Child]

Your item config is wrong. It should be switch_binary. You have it backwards.

[Willie Stewart]

Thanks Mike. I made the change to Item Configuration and still didn't work.

I atttached my log.

Thanks

[Chris Jackson]

I don't know the switch, but is it really a multi endpoint version (ie are there multiple switches on the same device)? If not, remove the :1 in the item configuration.

[Willie Stewart]

That was it, it Worked!

I am using a Leviton VRS15 on/off switch.

Thanks for your help!

[Willie Stewart]

I'm having a bit a problem w/ door/window  im uing for my garage door. I can see the sensor in habmin and its green but I can seem to display it in my sitemap. I can see and control my light switch just fine. I was hoping to use the garage door icon that shows it open or closed. Thanks

Items

Switch Z_Leviton "Dining Room" (Light){zwave="2:command=SWITCH_BINARY"}

Contact GarageN "Nic Garage" (garagedoor){zwave="3:command=BINARY_SENSOR,value = 11­"}

Sitemap

sitemap foot label="Main Menu" {

   Frame label="Dining Room" {

      Switch item=Z_Leviton label="Dining Room" icon="switch"

       } Frame label="Nic Garage" {

      Contact item=GarageN label="Nic Garage" icon="Garage"

      }

}

[Chris Jackson]

The item definition is incorrect -:
Contact GarageN "Nic Garage" (garagedoor){zwave="3:command=BINARY_SENSOR,value = 11­”}

should be
Contact GarageN "Nic Garage" (garagedoor){zwave="3:command=SENSOR_BINARY,sensor_type = 11­"}

Chris

[Willie Stewart]

Thanks Chris. I updated my item configuration and now it appears in Habmin "items tab" but for some reason I still can't see the device in my sight map. Is there something else I need to change?

My sitemap

sitemap foot label="Main Menu" {

   Frame label="Dining Room" {

      Switch item=Z_Leviton label="Dining Room" icon="switch"

       } Frame label="Nic Garage" {

      Contact item=GarageN label="Nic Garage" icon="garagedoor"

[Willie Stewart]

So here is my updated Items and Sitemap together. Is there still something wrong? I can seem to get the device to appear in my sitemap. My switch displays and works fine.

Thanks

Items

Switch Z_Leviton "Dining Room" (Light){zwave="2:command=SWITCH_BINARY"}

Sitemap

[Martin Naughton]

do you see any thing wrong in the logs? Did the designer give you this sitemap? What else have you tried?

[Willie Stewart]

I used samples from other sitemaps to create my sitemap. I didn't use designer. I guess I need to see how designer can help me.
Thanks
